The Vallox X-Line KTXA cooker hood is designed to be used above the cooker

top or as a general extraction valve in the kitchen.

The hood has a timer damper.

MANUAL

VENTILATION CONTROL

The removal of cooking smells can be enhanced by

using the adjustment damper of the hood. Potential-

free contact data is provided of the position of the

damper.

When Vallox X-Line KTXA is connected to the joint

extraction system of a multi-storey building, a Vallox

Smoke Limiter must also be installed.

USING THE UNIT

Front panel

MAINTENANCE

Keep the cooker hood clean. Wipe outer surfaces

regularly with water containing a small amount of a mild

detergent. Clean o any grease stains immediately. Do

not use abrasive or corrosive detergents or tools.

Keep the grease ﬁlter clean to ensure an adequate

extract air ﬂow. The grease ﬁlter must be washed with

warm water and detergent by hand or in a dishwasher

at least 1-2 times a month.

Position of the damper

When turned to the left, the damper is in the closed

position: In normal circumstances, the damper must

be closed,

which boosts the extract air ﬂow from other premises.

When turned to the right, the damper is in the open

position:

used when the extract air ﬂow needs to be boosted,

such as:

• when the cooker top or the oven is used for

cooking

• when the load in the kitchen is exceptional e.g. due

to the use of strong detergents or the presence of

a large number of people.

WARNING

The unit is not intended for use

by children under 8 or by persons

with reduced sensory, physical or

mental capabilities, or whose lack

of knowledge and experience do

not ensure safe operation of the

unit. Such persons can use the unit

under supervision, or by following

the instructions of someone who

is responsible for their safety. Do

not let children play with the unit

or to clean or maintain it without

supervision.

WARNING

If the ventilation of the apartment

is turned o, the entry of fresh

replacement air into the apartment

and the extraction of used air

from the apartment are prevented.

Impurities, such as carbon dioxide,

humidity, smells, formaldehyde,

dust, and radon, which come from

people, structures, and the soil

will quickly contaminate the room

air and are harmful to the health

of people. Excessive humidity

may damage the structures of the

building and result in mould and

fungal growth. For this reason,

building regulations require that

ventilation be turned on at all times

and that its eciency is adjusted

based on the needs of the user.

CAUTION

• Neglecting the cleaning of the

grease ﬁlter can cause a ﬁre

hazard.

• The outer surfaces of the hood

can become hot when the

cooker or the oven is turned

on.

• Flaming is forbidden

underneath the cooker hood.

• Always follow the instructions

provided on adjusting the

eciency of ventilation.

• Enable a sucient supply air

ﬂow into the room if the cooker

hood and non-electric devices

are used simultaneously.

MANUAL

Replacing the lamp

• Remove the protective glass of the lamp by moving it

to the left (Figure 3).

• Remove the lamp by pulling it to the left (Figure 4).

• Lamp type: G23 LED.

INSTALLATION

Use the mounting accessories included in the package

to fasten the cooker hood in place.

1. Shorten the extract air duct to be connected to the

hood (125 mm spiral duct) to the correct length.

2. Where required, install a Vallox cover strip, for

instance, (2142400 cover strip 500 or 2142500

cover strip 600) to cover the opening in the rear

wall.

3. Lift the hood so that it is in contact with the duct.

4. Fasten the cooker hood with the mounting

brackets or by other means, so that the hood is

ﬁrmly in place and cannot move (ﬁgures 1, 2 and

3). The mounting screws included in the accessory

bag are suited to walls made of wood, chipboard,

cement or stone. Use appropriate mounting

devices for other materials.

5. Check the tightness of the extract air duct system.

6. Plug the cooker hood into the mains. Ensure that

the plug can be unplugged, where required.

• Open the quick connectors of the bottom plate of

the cooker hood by turning (Figure 1).

• Turn the bottom plate down.

• Remove the grease ﬁlter from its holder (Figure 2).

WARNING

A G23 PL lamp will cause damage!

CAUTION

The minimum distance of the

bottom edge of the grease ﬁlter to

an electric cooker is 500 mm, and

to a gas cooker 650 mm.

CAUTION

• The cooker hood must not

be connected to a ﬂue that is

used for removing combustion

gases (e.g. from a wood- or

gas-burning ﬁreplace, cooker,

or stove).

• The cooker hood must not

be fastened through the side

panels to the cabinets.

• Fans that are controlled

through the cooker hood must

have an engine cover and

their maximum power must not

exceed 340 W.

• Regulations on leading

MANUAL

Measuring and adjusting the air ﬂows

Standard ventilation

The volume ﬂow rate of the air inside the cooker hood is

measured with the damper closed and, where required,

adjusted based on the static pressure loss and the

performance scheme of the cooker hood.

• Measure the static pressure loss of the cooker hood by

pushing the probe through the hole in the damper (see the

ﬁgure).

• Determine the volume ﬂow rate from the performance

scheme based on the measured pressure and the number

of open holes in the damper.

Adjustment:

• Cover the required number of holes in the damper with the

magnetic strip that is delivered with the cooker hood.

Boost ventilation

The volume ﬂow rate of the air inside the cooker hood is

measured with the damper open based on the static pressure

loss and the performance scheme of the cooker hood.

• Measure the static pressure loss of the cooker hood. The

measuring point must be located 2 times the duct diameter

above the outlet collar of the cooker hood (see the ﬁgure).

• Determine the volume air ﬂow based on the measured

pressure and the performance scheme (with the damper

open).

NOTE

If a Vallox Smoke Limiter has

been installed in connection to

the Vallox X-Line KTXA cooker

hood, adjustment of the boost

air ﬂow must be completed in

accordance with the manual of

the smoke limiter.
